Alternative staging of regional lymph nodes in gastric cancer
The TNM pN stage based on the number of metastatic lymph nodes is an independent prognostic factor in gastric cancer. Many studies have highlighted the phenomenon of stage migration and problems in comparing groups of patients with different numbers of total lymph nodes harvested within TNM staging. The current version of UICC/AJCC and JGCA TNM classifications postulates a minimal number of 16 ...
متن کاملLymph nodes metastasis of gastric cancer
Despite a decrease in incidence in recent decades, gastric cancer is still one of the most common causes of cancer death worldwide [1]. In areas without screening for gastric cancer, it is diagnosed late and has a high frequency of nodal involvement [1]. Even in early gastric cancer (EGC), the incidence of lymph node (LN) metastasis exceeds 10%; it was reported to be 14.1% overall and was 4.8 t...
متن کاملInitial Staging of Locally Advanced Rectal Cancer and Regional Lymph Nodes
PURPOSE The aim of the study was to compare diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) parameters with 18F-FDG PET/CT in primary locally advanced rectal cancer (LARC). METHODS From October 2012 to September 2014, 24 patients with histologically confirmed and untreated LARC (T3-T4) prospectively underwent a pelvic 1.5-T DW-MRI (b = 0 s/mm, b = 600 s/mm2) and a whole-body 18F-FDG PET/CT, before neoadjuvan...
متن کاملClinicopathologic implication of meticulous pathologic examination of regional lymph nodes in gastric cancer patients
BACKGROUND We aimed to investigate effect of increased number of examined lymph nodes (LNs) to pN category, and compare various N categories in gastric cancer: American Joint Committee on Cancer (AJCC) 7th edition, metastatic LN ratio (MLR), and log odds of positive LNs (LODDS). METHODS Four cohorts with a total of 2,309 gastric cancer patients were enrolled. For cohort 1 and 2, prognostic si...
متن کاملA positive correlation between neutrophils in regional lymph nodes and progression of gastric cancer.
UNLABELLED BACKGROND/AIM: Recent evidence indicates that inflammation is a hallmark of cancer. Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) contribute to tumor invasion. However, whether TANs and lymph node metastasis are related is unknown. Intranodal lymphatic vessel density (LVD) is significantly correlated with tumor progression, lymph node metastasis in gastric cancer. Herein, we investigated the e...
